Original release date: created by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983.

Release date: this specific limited edition was released for Summer 2003.

Recognizable features: the chain intertwined chain with leather, the double C lock and the double flaps.

Good investment: this bag is litteraly gold and gold is a great investment. Only on vintage versions metallic pieces were plated in 24 carat gold.

Gold hallmark: Just looking at them, vintage hardware looks more yellow than modern hardware. The double C lock must have a gold hallmark.

Types of leather: can be found in lambskin leather (soft) or caviar leather (pebbled calf, textured).

Single or double flap ? I believe this version is a double flap.

Good investment: very rare, collector piece.
